Hunting for elements to promote relaxation is most evident for individuals living fast paced lives with the only respite coming as they enter the humble abode.

The search to bring a touch of the relaxing hues and sensibilities of nature to help calm down daily hectic lives is on.

It is a wonderful gift to find unique treasures that blend nature and function in the midst of the over abundance of manufactured furnishings.

• John Houshmand has brought together beauty, sustainability, and individuality in his unique creations that allow trees to help in his design process. His collection is referred to as “urban organic furniture”.

“JOHNHOUSHMAND IS A FAMILY DEDICATED TO THE ETERNITY OF TREES.”

• The furnishings allow for trees to express their grains, bark, and overall natural beauty that mimic the diversity of all living beings.

• Blending with the wood are elements of glass and steel creating a distinct piece of furniture that promotes a setting of beauty and well being.

John Houshmand strives to express “green” views with his unique innovative designs. His philosophy is beautiful:

“Trees are the guardians of everything sacrosanct. They hold secrets
of the past and relinquish everything necessary to sustain the future.

They bare their souls providing us with the air we breathe, the
shelter in which we live, and the food that nourishes our very beings.

We allow trees to do the talking. We simply listen.”

The portfolio is and endless catalog of unique and eclectic pieces of furniture that reflect individuality as they double as works of art.

The following are John Houshmand’s newest works

John Houshmand presents another opportunity to decorate the abode with furnishings that are at one with the living world and promote a soothing environment as promoted in the practice of Feng Shui.

Complement the Newsworthy wall covering, and an area rug woven from yarn made out of recycled newspaper, with these beautiful furniture pieces. Add beauty to the abode’s décor while being attuned to nature.

Slow down; relax in the beauty around you. Never be afraid to dance!

Many people are constantly searching for amazing ideas to repurpose, reclaim, and recycle their ways to creating beautiful décor. Just like learning how to change eating habits when dieting, people have to learn how to change out of their bad habits when it comes to protecting our Earth. Recycling, as a habit, must be promoted.

Have fun and try to create your own furnishings by recycling.

Greetje van Tiem from Eindhoven Academy invented her own amazing yarn recycled from newspaper for a school project. She calls her project Indruk.

• With a drop spindle, twisting, and patience, newspaper can be spun into yards of yarn. When strips of newspaper are tightly spun they become very strong and durable.
• Imagine area rugs and baskets woven out of yarn recycled from newspaper.
• Newspaper yarn can be used exactly as traditional yarn; knit, crochet, and weave your way to beautiful accessories.

• Check out NewspaperWood for a really cool invention recycled from newspaper. Newspaper recycled into a wood-like product that can be used to make cabinetry and other furnishings.

Our earths circle is broken; the trash and pollution are falling out. Recycling and Upcycling should be thought of as a clasp to help hold the circle closed. Step outside of the box and develop your own recycled invention. Our Earth needs saving and we all need to be its heroes.

Get out the newspaper and make some party hats, and never be afraid to dance!
